The 2024 Report on The Attention Economy

The attention economy is coming fast. The constant proliferation of new media disrupts our attention to advertising.

 

Serious advertisers want new metrics of the quality of attention These metrics must go beyond your audience data, your readership or your advertising impressions.

 

With a sample of approximately 40,000 respondents including 10,000 in Quebec, Zoolook Intelligence uses segmentation based on personality traits.

 

It allows you to estimate the probabilities of active attention, passive attention, inattention, and total attention for your media.

A complete view with strategics implications

The 2024 report covers up to 1310 media properties. It includes all digital and traditional media.

 

The results indicate which media promote your sales activation in the short term (active attention) as well as which media help you to build your brand image (passive attention). 

 

We developed the ZI index that take into account both the short term and a long-term profit multiplier depending on the media you use.

 

The 97-page report establishes a ranking of the 25 best media platforms in Canada and Quebec according to their percentage of the total attention (active attention and passive attention)

 

Finally, the report discloses the dominant emotions conveyed by each media. Up to 40 emotions are present in the 2024 report.
